Spring Into Fun at Kentucky State Parks!

April 3, 2012 by Joi Sigers Leave a Comment

Udderly Delicious Dairy Desserts, Kenlake Marina on Kentucky Lake

Udderly Delicious Dairy Desserts – Kenlake State Resort Park’s Marina. You’ve never tasted better ice cream. And the view? Breathtaking!

 

This event has passed, but there’s always something going on at Kentucky’s State Parks! Check our Kentucky Events page for up to the minute events and news. Also, check out our ever-growing Things to Do in Kentucky page!

Spring has sprung, lovely readers, and I couldn’t be more excited.  The amazing Kentucky Wildcats won the National Championship, Murray State had a remarkable season, and the University of Louisville caught everyone by surprise with their tenacity.  Even better, Coach Pitino showed the world what graciousness in defeat looks like. Frankly, I thought he wore it beautifully and I became an even bigger fan than I was before.  Tomorrow, baseball (another addiction of mine!) returns and all seems right with the world.

I’m also excited about all of the opportunities for fun in the sun at our beautiful Kentucky State Parks.

The Kentucky State Park resorts have lodges, cottages and restaurants, as well as recreational opportunities for families. These include trails, playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, fishing and wildlife viewing. Spring break is a great time to get outside and explore some of the natural beauty at these parks. All state park campgrounds will open in April.

Listed below are some of the special offers and programs in March and April. (Offers based on availability, for individual travel only. Not to be combined with any other discounts or offers.
